Section 32 PBC Financial Conference
Another effect of the visit to the church was to reassure him - he had always suspected that Australians worshiped the devil and drew extraordinary strength from the devil. Now that he saw such a majestic church, cross and priest, his doubts disappeared. [Read the latest chapter] I suddenly thought that this was the extraordinary wisdom and power given by God. I was finally able to leave Lingao in a calm mood.
It was a calm and leisurely day. Bairen Industrial Zone continued to spit smoke of different colors, and a steady stream of wastewater poured into the Wenlan River from the outlet of the treatment plant. The temperature is gradually rising and the river seems to be greener than in previous years. There was also a faint smell coming out. The water in some diversion channels even smelled so bad that people had to be sent to clean it every day.
In a relatively remote neighborhood in Dongmen City - yes, Dongmen City has now formed a neighborhood instead of a street in the past. Side streets extending from Central Street were developed one after another as the main street extended. New neighborhoods were formed, with the land surrounded by fences and signs marked with strange words. In some places, new houses were being built, and in some places they were still idle, allowing people to grow vegetables.
At the corner of Fifth Street, commonly known as Wudaokou, there is a newly built tea house. The first floor is where tea is sold, and the second and third floors are teahouses. This place is a newly opened industry of the cooperative, and tea is one of the This is a kind of public consumer goods, and the consumption in Lingao is increasing. Lingao does not produce tea locally, and all is imported from Fujian. The cooperative opened this tea house to sell tea, which not only adjusts people's livelihood, but also withdraws currency. .
The Executive Committee and the Standing Committee have agreed that private capital can be appropriately introduced in many non-critical industries. This tea house has capital invested by several customers of Tiandihui, accounting for 49% of the total capital. These customers are now cultivating cash crops such as tea in hilly areas under the guidance to meet domestic demand.
The guest seats on the second and third floors are neatly furnished and attract many tea drinkers. As for the types of tea guests, most of them are small landowners, businessmen who have recently settled in the local area, and the increasing number of indigenous employees in various departments.
The most frequent customers at Wudaokou Tea House are senior figures from the financial system. This place is very close to the newly opened Delong Bank head office. Many people often come here to chat and rest. Gradually, this place replaced the cold, square lounge in the former Finance and Finance Committee compound in Bairen City, full of simple lines and a sense of intensiveness in primary industry.
Tea is imported from Fujian and then simply sorted, processed and packaged by machinery at the tea factory of the Ministry of Light Industry. Most of the famous Fujian teas in this time and space can be seen here. The most popular was oolong tea, which had already appeared at that time.
This is a small microcosm of the intersection between the hard-working, simple and pioneering Chinese businessmen and the new forces of Lingao. Fujian tea, Lingao-style packaging and services, cooperation between indigenous businessmen and monopoly state-owned enterprises. It works very naturally and smoothly. After the opening of Wudaokou Tea House, it gradually became a gathering place for senior financial officials. Even the newly wealthy indigenous people who came here to drink tea knew that the third floor was not the place for them.
The spare time life of senior officials is generally not very interesting, while people in the financial and financial departments are faced with reports and numbers every day. In order to adapt to the future financial system that is not suitable for computers, various departments under the Ministry of Finance are promoting "manualization of accounting" , this behavior of starting to reverse is to avoid the day when no computer is available and everyone will no longer be able to compile reports. The current computer system is only used to perform some more complex calculations.
Everyone complained about the days of reading reports, abacuses, hand-cranking computers, and moving slide rules every day, not to mention that everyone was assigned an apprentice. Rather than helping, the apprentices increased the workload, making everyone suddenly become The burden is heavier.
The more boring it gets, the more emphasis is placed on leisure and relaxation. This place has become a must-visit place for many people every day. Not only do they come here to chat, but sometimes work meetings are also held here.
After long gatherings, the elders of the financial department gradually formed several small groups here. There are mainly "Accounting Department", "Banking Department" and "Finance and Taxation Department". The latitude and longitude of each group are not completely clear, and there are many overlaps among the personnel. These small factions were loosely united and formed a faction later called "Wudaokou" in the Senate. This system does not have the same scale as the Law Club, nor is it more rigorous in thinking and organization than those with a legal background. There is no ambitious Ma Yuan to lead everything here - there are many small factions within the group, and each has their own financial, economic and fiscal affairs. Ideas despise each other, and no one buys and the other wins. Therefore, in the second conference, the financial group failed to usurp a larger power cake. Naturally, it is not as great an achievement as the Law Club.
In the primary coal-iron complex joint venture, finance, or the financial department under the current system, is one of those departments that is indispensable but not the most important. So everyone is well aware of the possibility of gaining greater power.
"We are a service unit." Everyone in the finance department has a unified mind on this issue.
The financial and taxation system has just undergone a comprehensive restructuring after the recent second plenary session. The original Finance and Finance Commission was split and adjusted into multiple departments. The new system finally had a formal Ministry of Finance. The audit department Cheka finally gained a formal status; the tax department, which had always had no clear status, was also established. Now, in addition to officially taking over the county grain collection bureau, which was a compromise product under the old Ming Dynasty system, the new tax bureau is also being established.
The original Delong Grain Bank was divided into two departments. One department maintained the old name - Delong Grain Bank, and continued to undertake the business of grain acquisition, storage and sales. Delong's original currency bank and financial business were divested and became an independent Delong Bank. It currently plays the three-in-one role of a central bank, a professional bank and a commercial bank.
The new financial director Cheng Dong has never been to Wudaokou, but he supports his subordinates to discuss professional issues here. The teahouse is an informal setting, and the conversation is relatively relaxed. It is not as formal as discussing issues in a formal meeting, and many things can be said on the table. Therefore, this place has gradually become an important place for business departments to discuss and formulate policies.
The third floor is full of elegant rooms, with thin bamboo curtains hanging at the door and some green plants. Some private rooms are extremely small and can only accommodate four or five people chatting, while some are large enough for more than twenty people to gather together for a meeting. There is an indigenous waiter guarding the stairs to prevent any ignorant indigenous person from breaking into the third floor. Next is to take care of the thermos and tea leaves.
It was working time now, and most of the private rooms were empty. Only one was full of guests, with seven or eight people sitting around a round table, joking with each other. The main communication was about the business issues of this system, and then about the maid benefits that seemed to be coming soon. There was some “you know what” laughter from time to time.
There were hot tea and plates of fruits on the table, the skylight on the roof was open, and the smoke from several cigarettes and cigars slowly rose upward. This scene of lingering green smoke made the natives give them a "fairy meeting" "The nickname.
"I heard that the quality after being trained by the maid is very good. It is much better than when it was first landed." Yifan, the leader of the Cheka, felt a little proud, and he couldn't help but feel a bit unrestrained. "I really want to get one as soon as possible and train it myself. "
It has been several months since the Cheka was established, but it has not caught a "big fish" yet. Yifan is very disappointed. The progress of his audit work is as slow as a tortoise because there is no suitable person. Whatever you do, you have to start from the beginning. Moreover, there are many people competing with you for resources. Let’s just say that this basic accounting training class for auditing was started on a large scale only after his hard advocacy. As a result, most of the trained accountants were retained by various departments, and the executive committee seemed to have suddenly woken up--each department must For departmental enterprises to keep accounts and improve their financial systems, they must have accountants.
So Yifan only got less than ten people in the end, plus the apprentices he personally led and the clerical staff who didn't need to know about financial accounting and auditing, he could barely make up enough people for a football team.
Just these ten people, learning by doing. Yifan spent more than ten times more energy than he did on his own - these fledgling auditors were full of mistakes, and he had to personally review every piece of information. As a result, the accounts of the enterprises affiliated to Wu Nanhai's Committee of Agriculture have not yet been cleared up. His famous line about "dragging out the senators and shooting them" became a laughing stock.
Ji An was eating a mango: "It's so beautiful that you have to bid by lottery. This is deliberately trying to drain our wealth."
"I have nothing at all." Wu Di flicked the cigarette ashes, and a complete cigarette flew out beautifully, falling into a glass full of cigarette butts. This man was about 30 years old, with a moderately well-proportioned figure, strong muscles, and good looks. He is quite handsome and stands out among the crowd.
"What is an indigenous maid? She doesn't look good and is short," Wu Di expressed contempt. "Don't talk about her appearance, she has nothing in common with modern people. I'm not interested at all."
"Then why are you still receiving maid welfare?"
"Everyone has their own reasons why I don't have one," Wu Di said nonchalantly. "Besides, it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy one and use it to do housework. This kind of life secretary can only do this."
Travelers rarely bring wives or girlfriends with them. Only this Wu Di not only brought a young and beautiful wife, but also abducted his sister-in-law. This guy made no secret of his ambiguous relationship with his sister-in-law, and sometimes the three of them would go in and out together, attracting everyone's attention. In private, Du Wen repeatedly regarded his wife and sister-in-law as examples of those who "voluntarily put on the yoke of male supremacy and become male subordinates."
"You are such a typical fed man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry-" Every time Yi Fan saw him, he wanted to check his account to see if he could be taken out and shot to prevent him from occupying too many resources by himself. However, Wu Di's current institution, Delong Bank Credit Department, has not done a few transactions so far. This idea had to be given up.
Zhijiao coughed next to her. As the only woman present, she was very uncomfortable with such a topic, and she was also a little uneasy - Lao Hu also wanted to have a little wife, right?
Yifan noticed her reaction and quickly stopped talking about this issue, but diverted to other topics. It's not that he respects women, it's because Jin Zhijiao is now one of his generals and must be well won over.
Jin Zhijiao is the wife of Hu Muye, an engineer at Lingao Telecom. She graduated with a major in accounting and is very good at statistics. Now the second-in-command in Chikari.
"Are there any new policies recently?" Yifan asked casually, flicking the ashes from his cigarette.
Chen Ce, director of the planning department of Delong Bank, glanced at him and dropped the cigarette card.
"Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? The General Office of the Executive Committee issued a document asking us to add a detailed plan on the reform of the monetary system based on the last report."
"Is that the draft for comments?" Yifan said, "Isn't it the report you made last time?"
Chen Ce made a report to the first executive committee a few months ago, which was about the reform of the financial system. In this report, in addition to calling for the reform of the Finance Committee system and the separation of finance and finance, it also raised the issue of currency reform.
"Yes, it is still basically the framework I mentioned. However, it can be seen that the executive committee has a lot of thoughts on how to change the monetary system, and it is very vacillating."
"That's not bad. At least the current reform of the financial system has a lot to do with your report. The Delong family has split up - tell me, is your ultimate goal in writing this report the separation of the Delong family?"
During Delong's time at the Grain Bank, the people who held the most power were mainly people from the Planning Commission system, and the financial and accounting personnel were basically the people working below.
After the split, the grain bank business was spun off, and a banking system was established. The people who originally relied on finance and accounting immediately became trembling. A group of people have moved into middle-level positions.
"Haha, you can't say that. Is this the general trend?" Chen Ce said calmly, "The Grain Bank is doing finance. This is ridiculous. The name is unfair. Can you imagine the Ministry of Grain of the People's Republic of China issuing banknotes?"
The so-called base currency is the central bank's liabilities. The central bank buys Treasury bonds to bank currency. Therefore, the first step in the financial reform proposed by Chen Ce is to turn Delong Grain Bank into Delong Bank. This step has now been achieved. That's why he proposed currency reform.
"Hasn't the Ministry of Grain of the People's Republic of China been doing food stamps for many years? But we are more thorough and directly integrate two into one." Yifan commented.
"You are also a student of finance. You must know best the problems with our so-called negotiable securities."
"That's right, so when you proposed that Chengdu should use grain as its basis, I agreed." Yifan said. Fully convertible banknotes using rice as a general equivalent were feasible in the early days. In underdeveloped areas like Lingao, only rice can provide sufficient and reputable credit guarantee, and through foreign trade, rice prices, that is, currency values, can be stabilized within an acceptable fluctuation range relatively easily.
"The biggest problem with grain circulation coupons is that they are actually a kind of grain bank exchange coupons. They are too restrictive. Other assets must be converted into rice before they can be converted into currency. This is no longer in line with the current social and economic development. "Yi Fan concluded, "However, the key to being able to pass was that you chose Ma Du Gong, an 'industrialist' fanatic." Yi Fan laughed, "I have a feeling that Du Gong is in essence He has little understanding of currency, but he has a strong hostility to finance. He is also eager to completely manipulate the financial system."
"The Governor is a fanatic about planned economy." Wu Di lit up a Xinde cigarette and said, "He also made a plan for a new monetary system."
"Oh, I want to take a look at this. I didn't know that Mr. Ma was also interested in finance."
"It's very long," Wu Di said, "I can summarize his thoughts for you."
"All ears."
"Ma Du Gong's monetary system is simply to control the world's currency by controlling trade channels," Wu Di said. "His theory is that as long as you monopolize the logistics industry, you can monopolize the power to define currency. The pound and the US dollar can successively It became an international currency because it monopolized the circulation of commodities.”
As he spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket: "I will read you a piece of his original text -
... There are two prerequisites for buying something: a. there is someone selling it, and b. there are channels to buy it. With farmers alone, you can't buy rice; with just factories, you can't buy clothes. Currency must be used, and the logistics industry must change hands. Therefore, monopolizing the logistics industry can monopolize the right to define currency. In modern times, the pound and the US dollar have successively become international currencies. The most critical point is that these two countries have mastered maritime power. There are two meanings of mastering sea power. One is that you have a monopoly merchant fleet and others cannot compete with you. So all bulk trade is done by you, and you naturally have the right to choose how to price it. The other is that you have the world's largest navy, which can stop trade on any route at any time without incurring retaliation. This is the model in the United States and the United Kingdom. The United States doesn’t care who mines oil in the Middle East or manufactures half the world’s industrial products—as long as these things are priced in U.S. dollars..."
"Of course, if this can be done, it will be beneficial in the short term. Just look at the United States in the old times." Chen Ce said, "His calculations are the same as those of the Americans, relying on the credit of the international currency to borrow unlimited money. .most currencies circulate on world markets,”
"In this plan, he has a four-step plan," Wu Di said. "In the first stage, let this new currency--let's call it the Australian dollar--be able to buy our supplies. Now that we have circulation coupons, we can directly Replace circulation certificates; in the second stage, we require that Australian dollars can buy other people’s supplies and be exchanged for gold and silver; in the third stage, we require that gold and silver must be priced in Australian dollars; in the fourth stage, we require that everything be priced in time-traveling coins.”
"The Governor is an omnipotent planner and a materialist. For him, finance is essentially heresy." Chen Ce said with a smile. m! ~!
